ABOUT THE EVENT

Have you noticed people in your life who are struggling with their wellbeing, but feel unsure of how best to speak with them to support them? 

​

You don’t need to become a counsellor or psychologist to dispel these feelings of helplessness. However, it is important to understand the principles of holding a safe space with someone who is feeling vulnerable. How can we avoid inflicting psychological harm on the other, and beyond that, how can we communicate in a way that is uplifting and encouraging?

​

In this 3-hour hands-on workshop, learn key evidence-based approaches to hold supportive conversations with someone who is struggling*. Gain practical insights from the field of Positive Psychology on communication and coping, and learn skills that you can immediately apply in your daily life.

​

This workshop is suitable for anyone who wants to support the people in their lives, especially parents, leaders, friends, human resource managers, and those in

people-oriented professions.

 

​
